Abstract The shape-dependent effects of microplastics have been studied in the context of ingestion but have not been considered in other environmental processes. Therefore, we investigated how the shape of polyethylene microplastics (spheres, fragme

Publikováno v: Global NEST International Conference on Environmental Science & Technology.

Microplastic research has focused mainly on particles made of polymers from ordinary consumer plastic products while industrial plastics has been largely overlooked. However, industrial plastics as Bakelite can be of a great importance due to their e

Abrasion of tire wear is one of the largest sources of microplastics to the environment. Although most tire particles settle into soils, studies on their ecotoxicological impacts on the terrestrial environment are scarce. Here, the effects of tire pa

Polyester fiber is one of the most abundant types of microplastics in the environment. A major proportion of the fibers entering wastewater treatment plants end up in sewage sludge, which is used as a soil fertilizer in many countries. As their impac

The Ni-GDC and Ni-SDC cermets with tailored microstructures are potential candidates for anode materials in intermediate temperature SOFCs. In this work, a modified citrate-nitrate combustion synthesis was employed for the preparation of cermets. It
